Should I moisturise my nails, too?

Yes, you should, says nail expert Leighton Denny who is a big fan of cuticle oil. ‘It works to moisturise and nourish both the cuticle and nail to restore it to health, as well as protecting your polish to extend the life of your manicure,’ he says. ‘Massage when applying cuticle oil to increase the circulation around your nails, stimulating nail growth.’
